Clinton Eyes Building "More Powerful State Department"

If you actually read the article, all it really says is that Clinton plans to restore the role of the State Dept. to what it was pre-Bush.

Does that mean the State Dept. will be "more powerful"? Yes, but any talk of conflict is pure speculation. The article does not even discuss where any conflict might occur, they just kind of assume it will, even though the article later states that Clinton's moves have the support of Sec. Gates and others in the Pentagon (hello, editor?).

The NYT liberal bias strikes again.

The Bush administration expanded the office of the Vice-President and created the KGB... eh.. DHS. Now Obama's will expand the State department.


I guess the next step would be get rid of the of the House and the Sentate. We can then hold elections for an Emperor, switching from a Democrat to a Republican every 8 years.

Here's hoping she isn't confirmed. What a vile, horrible, woman! She has yet to prove she can run a large organization, including her campaign. Bleccchhhh!!!

Clinton is making a power grab? Shocking.

she just better remember that the best SecStates were the ones who were in line with their White House instead of fighting against it or promoting a different agenda

Why do I have a feeling she will be setting herself up for yet another presidential run when she lands in Foggy Bottom.

+ all these big companies they write off everything. +

- You don't even know what a write off is. -

+ Do you? +

- No. I don't. -

+ But they do and they are the ones writing it off. +

Let's see what she does before we condemn her.

shadow govt

I think it's a good idea, but I can see State turning into Hillary's own fiefdom.

Whenever a Clinton put the reins in their teeth, it's time to buy stock in Boeing.
